So now that the Holidays seem to be in full swing, what is everyone gonna put on their Christmas/Holiday Lists????
I think i'm gonna try to get a pedal or two seeing as I don't have any. I might try to get that Behringer tube screamer Wes mentioned a few weeks ago. And a lot of people seem to praise the PlaneTalk book/dvd so i might try to get that.
I'm sure that in reading your posts i'll find a few other things i can't live without.
I find the trouble with things you can't live without leads to depriving the Mrs of things SHE can't do without.....we've just had a new fireplace, I've decorated every room downstairs from the bathroom/toilet to the porch, through the kitchen and the living room, the hall stairs and landing.....so I thought, right, it's my turn.....
Ask me am I going to get a new guitar for Xmas......answer will be, I'll be lucky to get a new set of strings....and she wants all three upstairs rooms doing after Xmas.....
Sigh......it never stops......
And I thought a new Squier Tele (custom) was a perfectly reasonable request......
You can't win, you can't even draw these days - £700 for a carpet we don't particularly need is a normal request (I'ts for the house!") but £135 for a Squier Tele is, in her words, taking the mickey........
Ah well, just wait till she wants the bedrooms decorating.......
:D :D :D

Here's the plan Vic. You buy one of these
http://www.music123.com/String-Swing-Guitar-Hanger-i22979.music
and the Tele hang it on the wall and call it decor.
Most likely I'll be getting what I get every year:
Guitar Strings (Wrong Gauge)
Guitar Picks (Wrong Gauge Again)
Socks and Underwear (Right Size I Hope)
I won't be getting anything too expensive as I bought an acoustic a few weeks ago. Vic you should try the old "I've probably saved us £135 by doing the decorating myself instead of getting the painters in" routine :lol: , sometimes works for me anyway. Celt my wife has gone shopping today with 2 empty string packages in her handbag (her idea) to make sure she gets the correct size. Its all in how well you train them. :wink:
Translation needed for those of us on this side of the Atlantic... "taking the mickey?"
I am sure its not flattering, but I have no idea what it means! (We speak the same language, don't we?)
That's a good link Arjen....hah, you should be glad I didn't write it in Lancashire dialect, instead of the Queen's English....

I'm having a hard time. I've gotten two guitars this year and three last year, so I'm about full. Got plenty of strings, picks, straps, etc. I'm happy with my amps, although in a couple of years I can see myself in a Fender HRD.
No, I think this year will bring a few small ticket items like some CDs that I've been meaning to get and that's about it.
